Thank you for the wonderful review. This sounds like a great book with many great ideas to live by. It's nice to read about someone that other things besides money are important. I'm glad that his niece chose to know who Jimmy is. I have added this to my list of books to read. I like feel-good and Christian books.

One Hand Two Hearts sounds so wholesome compared to most other books presented recently. I understand why the perfect audience would probably follow Christianity, but this also sounds like a great book for anyone who needs to remember how powerful kindness and hope can be. The world needs more people like the main character, someone who shows kindness to everyone, everywhere. Thank you for a great review :)

The review teases me into wanting to know about the story within the story, what was in Jimmy's manuscript? Other than that I am not interested in reading the book and probably will not read it.

Thanks for the great review. This book is real life situation that goes on everyday in the world. The book sounds like a great book to remind everybody not to judge other of their life situation. Everybody is human and have different situation going on in their life we don’t know and to be kind. Everybody has their own battles and can’t overcome those that easily.

One hand two hearts is an interesting and inspirational book.
Jimmy the main character of the novel proves to be devoted and humble man in whatever he does even as a Christian. He chose the rough and difficult way in life by living in the streets and I guess he did that to understand more about people who lives there.
He is a role model even to his own niece.
Thank you for the review.

Thank you for writing such a lovely review of this beautiful book. I was feeling down, but reading your review made me smile. You did a great job describing the book's central concept. And you were right, we need to talk about the values mentioned in this book in today's world. I never felt the desire to read a book immediately after reading its review, but now I do.

I thought One Hand Two Hearts was an incredibly touching story. It was so moving to see the couple's love for each other shine through despite all the obstacles they faced. It was also inspirational to see how they were able to persevere and find a way to be together in the end. I think this is an important story to tell and I'm glad it was written and shared with the world.

The protagonist in this wholesome story inspires others to keep a low profile with the intention of helping other people. I love how the friendship formed into a family. I'd love to read Jimmy's manuscripts within this novel. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The story of Jimmy Vansbricken is an inspiring one, I wouldn't make the choice Jimmy made, I would choose riches over any. He is indeed a man with a big heart.
